Meanwhile in Texas, red light cameras cannot be used to catch traffic violations as of 2019: https://guides.sll.texas.gov/recording-laws/red-light-camera...

In Houston, bollards and raised pedestrian paths were removed recently (after being installed last year) because drivers kept hitting them.

It's not a tech issue.
It is disgraceful that they used Turing's name in that film, was was almost completely fiction. Everyone involved in it should feel ashamed.
I really love e-ink/epaper and read every blog I see on devices created with such displays, but damn we're half way through 2024 and the price of reasonable sized and resolution panels is still far too high. Such a lost opportunity.

In professional settings, people care only about complexity.

In the informal media world, people care only about simplicity. The most simple narrative wins out every time.

Ya, I would put DEI up there with leetcode interview questions: not very good filters, but filters nonetheless that you have to navigate.
This is the usual tug of war between upvotes, flags, and vouches on divisive topics.

I'm pretty sure that "cultural Marxism" is a conspiracy theory, so I'd probably downvote you for that still. Seriously, what is your definition of cultural Marxism? I'm not gonna respond by picking it apart or whatever, I'll just read it and write "thank you" as a response after you've posted it.
The first time I ran barefoot, I was older than you probably are now. (Since this is HN.)

I understand your skepticism, since I used to be the same way. What I've learned is this: good running form isn't "pogo stick," it's "unicycle." But if what you're doing is working for you, no reason to change.

That STILL doesn't excuse the cost of running shoes. For public shoe companies, just take a look at their financials, how much money goes to "R&D" versus "sales and marketing."
An alternative (often temporarily) to bollards are jersey barriers - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_barrier

They’re about $2k per 12 feet and are widely used to protect construction workers on roads.

They’re also kind of ugly, to be fair.
Then I was confused myself. I thought Hacker News was in relation to the hacker spirit, embodied best in the book "Hackers", or even "Masters of DOOM", with a slight twist of VP and startup culture. Even the Big Tech propaganda gets tiring and off-topic. But I guess I was mistaken about the expectations.
Are you saying the United States would not block something being reported by the media? Because that is certainly false.
Parent comment doesn’t claim to have predicted the rise of smartphones.

If you truly had a bankable 10% success rate, $1B on each spin would be a steal.
How does that happen? Are they tailgating maintenance vehicles or emergency vehicles who are authorized to access those areas, and then the bollards go up again after they've passed?
Or even better: put speed bumps, narrow lanes, add chokepoints, lots of design features that physically force drivers to slow down instead of speed cameras that don't impede anything for someone wanting to speed.

Physical features are much harder to ignore.
I think I'm for Turing-completeness. Let me try to give my reasons...

1. No, using Turing-complete scripts does not prevent information extraction and meaningful automation. You can ask the program to dump useful information, e.g. targets, compiler flags, etc. That's what rizsotto/Bear does for Makefile. CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS is another example.

2. I don't really think you can do anything further with declarative build languages, unless it is a really limited one like JSON or XML. Meson (a relatively advanced one in the space) advocates for non-Turing-completeness, but you still cannot, for example, modify meson build files reliably using an external tool other than a text editor.

3. Complex build configuration usually requires non-trivial computation and/or dynamic dependency graph building. Turing-completeness gives you a possibility and you don't need to wait for build tool upgrades.

Comparing Meson to CMake, I find the niceties of Meson are usually not inherently non-TC. That is, you can theoretically reimplement a nicer CMake with all the niceties of Meson, while still being TC.
Technically it is a web browser engine (WebKit) ported to JS and it works in the latest Firefox (shows a tiger).
I did some scouting about for what microinverters would be usable without a full professional install, for a small under half kilowatt playing around. I was hoping I could snap up some used enphases & try stuff out with a 200w panel & my existing batteries. But I really didn't turn up much; most discussion online made it seem like you needed special installer access to get anywhere with Enphase. Exciting to hear maybe this microinverter idea might not be totally dead in the water.
Author is clearly not a mative speaker. I noticed one or two homophonic errors after a brief scan.

But I like the headers, as I interpreted it as "bollards" and "not-bollards", kinda humoristic and fun.
Is that claim in the part behind the paywall?

The furthest the freely accessible part goes is to say Israel "encouraged" Qatari payments to Hamas.
FJ had stories that kept you asking what happened next. Hung out and did some flight training with Rutan in the late 90s, even got to fly the LongEZ back from ABQ once. Blue skies and tailwinds. RIP FJ.
I sort of agree, in that I skip a lot of the legal text during installation. I didn't read the EULA, for example.

But this requirement had an entire installation page dedicated to it. It was the only text on that page. I'm honestly surprised people somehow missed it.

Please learn to never use this type of phrasing when offering suggestions. Your entire exchange was needlessly patronizing and off-putting.

There are two ways it could in theory be in aid of that goal:

- putting pressure - even if there is nothing now to negotiate with, military action could reduce hamas's negotiating position and in principle cause them to sue for peace. I'm a bit doubtful in this conflict, but traditionally this how war works. If your enemy refuses to surrender, you take their land until either they surrender or they have no more land. For example in world war 1, there was still a lot of deaths right up until the armistice even though people knew fighting was going to stop soon, because the sides thought the more land we have now, the better our position will be during the peace negotiations.

- second, Israeli army could find where the hostages are and take them back by force. Also pretty hard, but if negotiations are unattainable its not surprising they would go here as the only other option.

Most wars happen to obtain goals that are unattainable by peaceful negotiation. I don't think this conflict is any different in that regard than any other.
This is a really cool paper, reminds me of the simple exercise Karpathy goes through in his NN vid series with a bigram predictor. Looks like in practice there’s still some grounding issues when attempting to use them for instruction-tuned applications, but clever direction to explore!
Well, it certainly is supposed to be for those things. But if you try to run a site like HN only for those things, it turns out that's not a stable position.
Do you have any evidence or real examples to support that? I hear people say similar things but see nothing to suggest LLMs are a particular threat.

Yep, I agree completely. Just wanted to point out for completeness that rust can theoretically do the same thing as c++.
In the USA, in the ‘70’s, I had an account on a university computer that was good for 4 hours in a month. I think that was just a fairly normal thing in the old days, when almost nobody had an Apple ][.
This is a loaded argument that requires citations. Since you're making the claim, can you please link specific articles from the Arabic site that make your point? As well as linking which Arab countries banned it and when?

It's easy to just claim something, but it's crucial to back your point up front when it's particularly sensitive so as to not inadvertently spread misinformation. You may be correct, but that's why the citations are needed.
> An inbuilt assumption of what you say is that you believe in meritocracy, specifically that the powerful and wealthy are that way at least part by merit.

That is not what a meritocracy is. Meritocracy means our brightest and most capable lead us, instead of democracy where it is basically whoever can play the political game the best.
> last thing they'd want, in addition to fighting both Hamas and Hezbollah, would be an uprising of the israelo-palestinians who live in Israel

You're talking about Israeli citizens. The way you keep them from uprising is by giving them political power. (I also see no evidence any uprising is imminent.)
is fermatslibrary alan kay's twitter account? if not, is there a better source for this?
about which part? The IDF rape claim was later denied by the same woman claiming it happened as well as an Al Jazeera journalist.
https://twitter.com/abuhilalah/status/1771996521312973088

However, Al Jazeera never corrected the story, just took it down, which is just as OP reported: "We can draw the line when they report proven false information and never apologize for reporting so."

Argument from authority is a logical fallacy.

It is particularly fallacious when the topic is 'scrutinizing actions of authorities'.

I find it highly worrisome, people apparently prefer to be told what to think by "authorities" than to learn how to rationally check and judge arguments for their validity. It's tribalism vs enlightenment.
> Also the entire point of Al Jazeera was for Qatar to provide political influence...

FWIW it's what Qatar does. They've also been caught the hand in the cookie jar bribing EU officials:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_Kaili

She's a MEP and yet went on to defend Qatar as a bastion of democracy (!). Close to a million EUR was found in cash at her apartment: which probably helped defend a country where the official law is the Sharia law as a bastion of democracy.

War is ugly but religious extremism is ugly too, especially when it's financed by a shitload of oil.

People would do well to wonder who's financing all these "grassroots" movements in the EU and the US defending people who voted in power a terrorist organization who swore by the death of Israel.
The main overhead of using shared/unique ptr for everything where you could have used stack allocation is not the extra method call for get etc, it’s the extra heap allocation. Compilers can probably inline get, but they can’t change heap allocations to stack allocations in general.
No. There's a difference between saying:

A) The cost doesn't justify the benefits

and

B) There's too many humans anyway

The comment I responded to said B, not A.

That's what I mean by "pro death". Viewing it as a positive that we reduce the amount of humans by... random deaths from traffic?
Exactly. It’s undemocratic. It’s also unwise strategically.
The real threat of LLMs is their potential to ruin your day if you use them to assist in your work.

Do you have examples for Europe blocking Russia? Because all I have seen is DNS providers omitting certain sites (i.e RT), but their apps still work (plus URLs when using other DNS). An nothing of that coming from the nation states as all seems to be due to the activities of private companies doing these things.
I'm getting the impression a lot of Americans are now not just comfortable with systemic inequality, but are gravitating toward a position that it's actually desirable. In this environment, DEI bafflegab just pushes them in that direction.

Yeah. The technology angle in this particular one seems close to non-existent. To me it really seemed off-topic.

America is the most likely country for this to happen to, due to the unresolved issues surrounding slavery and the abandonment of reconstruction after the civil war. This is compounded when viewed through the USAs founding mythology.

Other countries have done worse, but they haven't done so as hypocritically as the United States.
But it's just so hard to get traction on Hacker News by following the submission guidelines and posting the source instead of flamebait.

> Why not simply negotiate a hostage exchange?

Because there are two war aims: hostage release and the removal of Hamas.

> Do you expect that if Hamas was about to be completely wiped out, that they would not simply kill all the hostages that were still alive up to that point?

No, for the same reason countries don't kill all their prisoners of war right before surrendering. You still need to negotiate the terms of the peace.

Next: due to an issue with primary key mapping, all cities in the US are now required to have a unique name, so all affected cities must work together to come up with new names. Start with the Springfields.

I'm not really sure pulling out a controversies tab from wikipedia is making the point that OP is trying to make. It's like citing BBC for their controversies

Probably the best summary of the breaking of Enigma and Lorentz is the 1977 BBC series "Most Secret War". Watch the "Still secret" episode, it is on Youtube.

I've seen and read a lot of stories about it, this is by far the best.
Between our house and the road turn 30ft away was a thick reinforced concrete pole, a bollard of a kind, severely leaning from being regularly hit by tanks - the road was used by tanks driving from/to loading point, and the tanks in the convoy would regularly miss the turn due to the dust raised by the tanks in front of them.
I don't speak Arabic so I can't really judge that; I'm sure there's tons of stuff I'd find distasteful, but being distasteful or even inflammatory (within some limits of reason) should not be outlawed. All I can do is go by articles such as this, which don't really seem to cite the same "firehose of bullshit"-type stuff.

Also note that the Israeli government spends tons of money to push Israeli narratives and viewpoints. That's fine, they're allowed to do that, but we can leverage the same "highly similar to RT in intent" accusations against them. In the end we should judge actions, not intent.

A far less extreme take could be that a random agitator writing an opinion piece has a lot less of a reputation to lose than a publisher or professional journalist.

Swiss banks routinely either reject Americans, or ask for so much paperwork.
Value defined reductively as simply monetary value is peak finance brain.

Yes, investors can allocate their resources with the expectation of gain outside the financial realm (but whether or not they have any other sensibilities is a much harder question).

A preoccupation with money (or really any superficial thing) makes dull people, with dull ideas, and ultimately dull impacts.

I would demand the investor have atleast some inkling of humanitarian sentiment that comes from within, and not simply the environment they found themselves born into. Otherwise, you'll end up with a petty tyrant no different than the owner of car dealership.
"That STILL doesn't excuse the cost of running shoes."

I don't know much about running shoes, but about trekking shoes. And there I can attest, that higher quality exists and indeed costs more and is worth it. I assume the same to be true for running shoes, no matter that they have a big marketing budget, that should rather be R&D. (All marketing should be.)

Just a minor counter- point… bollards are great for keeping cars out of places they don’t belong.

But bollards on bike paths can be deadly to cyclist. My area
used to place them at path-street crossings, to keep cars from turning onto the bike path, but after a few cyclists clipped them and died, the bollards were removed. The incidence of cars turning onto the bike path is low enough they weren’t worth the risk to non-cars.
Having used AutoCAD, Draftsight, and PTC ProEngineer in the past, and FreeCAD (for actual CAD, generally 2D, as input to a Shopbot) and Sketchup (for design renderings for clients) regularly currently, I would suggest that the learning curve on constraint-based drafting is fairy steep for most folks.

I'd also submit that it's of limited value if you aren't using the same package as your shop. The browser-based method is at least all but guaranteed to be available to the people building the cabinets.

Since they'll have to do shop drawings anyways, you aren't gaining much even if you can interchange drawings with their CAD software.
Yes, which outsources the problem to Charlie. Charlie has to firewall and lockdown that browser as much as possible to reduce the risk of Alice pwning Charlie, else Charlie's server could (among other things) be made to taint all output files. Browsers are not magically immune, they also just call decoder libraries.
It's also a way to compel action across all professors, not just professors from historically-underrepresented groups, who would likely be bearing the brunt of the work.

With the advent of more and more cars with smart features, it might be cheaper to simply have "virtual bollards" which are programmed into the cars computer, and the car will never drive over them.

Virtual bollards take up no space, are free to install, require no maintenance or repairs, etc. They also don't destroy any car that hits them.

Virtual bollards can also be passed by ambulances and emergency vehicles easily when needed, unlike real bollards which often slow emergency response.

Good article. As of the early 90s, Watcom was by far the best compiler option for professional development on Windows and OS/2. We used both Microsoft and IBM before settling on Watcom. Borland was fun on home PCs, but we didn’t approve it for commercial development. Also did a large LAN based system in UCSD-Pascal in the mid-80s. Visual Basic and the Web really ruined my programming desires.
